**** shame she figured it out before some AAs did! I guess there will always be some among us trying to prove something to whites. In 2017 still trying to live up to white standards and expectations. I feel sorry for them!!!

Well said indeed ...

These words are priceless: "shame she figured it out before some AAs did! "

Apparently you don't really understand what culture is? Culture is the sustaining force of any people. The glue that bonds a people together. Every cultural group has it's own worldview and has the responsibility for socializing and educating it's young to be the type of people that they need them to be. In Afrikan culture it is a given that 'It takes a village to raise a child'!!!

Yeah, that's it. My definitions are different than yours due to some deficiency on my part.
That aside...

Please define what you mean when you say "Culture"... and also "Cultural Group".. and please speak to the relationship between "Culture", Ethnicity, Race & Nationality.

I really need to understand this broad brush you've swung in my direction.

..context is everything.

Peace.

Race and Ethnicity Defined - Cliffs Notes


The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language.

In the future I expect you to do your own research! Lol

If you were race/culture conscious you would know why we replaced the C with the k! I.e. Europeans replaced the k sound with the C when they invaded and colonized Afrika. Because language is the transmitter and reflector of culture, we use the k to signal our coming back together again. Are we clear? I am an Afrika not because I was born in Afrika, but because Afrika was born in me! How about yourself? Who are you? BTW an Afrikan-centered education teaches Afrikan children to create their own jobs, control your own economy/community and EVERYTHING in it, especially the public schools!!! PS in the context of this discussion I meant search for your post when I said research.

Hmmm?
